How do you get all object names of an application given the application Id?

No, I mean a name.

Mash-up pull chart and graph from Qlik Sense using Objects's ID. However, the IDs change when you do deployment ( move from one environment (TEST) to another(PROD)). I am trying to figure out a way to automate the deployment process so that you don't have to going the mash up code & manually change the object IDs.

I am thinking if I can give the object a meaningful name I can find the right object to links to the mashup.

I am able to do it with App ID but have not figure out how to get name from object IDs

Here is what I did to get the app_id:

qlik.getAppList(function(list) {

var content= "id=";

list.some(function(value) {

if (value.qDocName == 'MyApp')

{

document.getElementById("AppId").innerHTML = value.qDocId;

//app = qlik.openApp(appid, config);

app = openApp(value.qDocId, config);

//var infos = app.GetAllInfos();

//alert(infos.length);

//app = qlik.openApp(appid, config);

}

});

I try and it does not work for me.

However, further research show that also deployment (export/import of qvf file) only change the AppId not the object in it. Thanks so much for your ansnwers
